THE HOOSIERS WIN.
DetrOits Defeated in a HotIy-COn-
tested Battle.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2O.-Between
5000 and 1000 people to-day saw In
dianapOlis defeat Detroit in the most
exciting game ever played in this city.
Brennan, an ex-NOrthwestern League
umpire, took Valentines place, and
gave the rankest exhibition ever shown
Both sides suffered badly, but about
evenly, and had not indianapolis won
by the hardest kind of work, Brennan
would certainly have Jared badly. The
local club won by reason of DetrOit'S er-
rOrS, the visitors making one more base
hit than their opponents. The new
pitchers, Gruber and Leitner, faced
each other and made good records. Lett
ner was wilder than Gruber, but the lat
ter hit two batsmen with the ball.

and couple of outs gave two more in

HOW THEY STAND.
Milwaukee Leads With a Some
what Reduced Percentage.

Oshkosh has done the best playing of
any team in the league during the week
Just ended, having contested five games
and won them all. Duluth comes next
with five victories and one defeat. st.
Paul is third in the list with four vic
tories and two defeats, and Des MOineS
is fourth with three victories and three
defeats. Milwaukee has won two
games, Minneapolis two and La Crosse
and Eau Claire one each. st. Paul and
Oshkosh, the third and fourth teams,
are therefore a little nearer the leader
than a week ago. There are. however.
no changes in the position of the clubs.
Milwaukee leads Des Moines fOrty-six
points, Des Moines st. Paul ten points
and ST. Paul Oshkosh five points. DeS
Moines and Oshkosh meet this week,
while Milwaukee crosses bats with La
Crosse and St. Paul with Eau Claire.
The prospects are, therefore, that Mil
waukee will increase its lead somewhat
and st. Paul retakt second place. The
clubs stand thus:

FOOT BALL.
The Game Between the st. Pauls
and ThiStleS.


and Thistles.
A match took place Friday night be-
tween the st. Paul and Thistle clubs
on the grounds of the latter at South
Minneapolis. Capt. McCulloch, of the
ST. Paul team, won the toss, and Barry
kicked off for the Thistles at p. M.
The game at once became very exciting.
the st. Paul forwards making a grand
rush for goal, and although from time
to time they made some dangerous shots
at goal they were unable to score, owing
to the strong defense offered by the
backs of the Thistle club, one of whom,
to save his goal from downfall, delib-
erately struck the ball out with his hands,
and the referee therefore awarded st
Paul free kick, and hot Scrimmage
then enSued, the Minneapolis team
eventually getting the ball away. Half
time was shortly afterwards called, and
the teams changed ends. The second
half was as hOtly contested as the first,
the st. Paul team having some near
ShaveS of scoring, but, try as they
would, they could not break the defense
of the home backs. The game, which
was a very fast and pleasant one, thus
ended in draw, no goals being scored.

fine game. II. Bruce at half back fairly
excelled himself, and the backs did not
make mistake. Titus in goal had very
little to do, and did that well. For the
Thistle the backs and goal-keeper
played a stirling defense game and
saved their side from certain defeat.
The teams were as follows:

Didn't Come Off.

The twenty y-fve-rOund glove fight be-
tween Paddy Norton and the BLACK
PEARL" set for last night at MinneapO-
lis. did not come off. A crowd of about
sixty quietly assembled at the Washing
ton rink about 10 o'clock and set in the
darkness and silence for about all hour.
Then it was announced that Norton
would not fight unless a purse of $500
was raised in advance and placed in
safe hands to be contested for. A cam
vas of the crowd revealed that only
about thirty were willing to pay the gilt
edged price. AS the party was about to
diSperse Capt. McKernan and a squad
of police appeared, and Norton was
taken to police headquarters in the pa
troll wagon, but was afterwards released.

Western REPRESENTATIVE.

Frank Dingley, of Minneapolis. will
represent the Garmully & Jeffery BIZ

to Chicago in October, in which all
the leading bicycle manufacturers will
be represented. He leaves Minneapolis
Wednesday night for Chicago. where
he will train. Dingley has rink record
of 765 miles in forty-eight hours. His
selection in preference to all other
riders by the firm named is certainly a
great compliment, as the race will be
for the worlds championship and big
stake. His performances in long dis
stances at both Minneapolis and Omaha,

other champions participated, were con-
sidered wonderful, and his friends think
he stands an excellent chance to win.

Senator's

BosToN, Aug. 2O.-TO-day two consec-
utive games were played at the South
end grounds which 5000 people wit
messed by purchasing a single admis-
sion. A heavy shower at l o'clock left
the grounds in a very bad condition, and
the skies wore lowering aspect
throughout the afternoon. The Sena-
tors won the first game on its merits.
Their fielding elected applause. The
work of Donnelly at third base was
wonderful and has not been surpassed
here this season. Dealy, Myers and
O'Brien led in batting and won the
game. The catching of the BostOns was
again of the happy-go-lucky order and
shut off possible run in the eighth.
Whitney and Stemmeyer were about
equally effective, but the latter showed
greater steadinesS with men on bases.

"BENEFIT DAY
La Crosse Plays Well, But is Shut
Ont by Oshkosh.

La CROSSE, Wis, Aug. 20.-This was
benefit day for the La Crosse team and
there was large attendance i'll spite of
a rainy forenoon and threatening sky in
the afternoon. 1t was an unfortunate
day for the La Crosse lads to get their
first shut ont. but so it happened. Hall
strom was hit hard and often. but Lovett
proved a complete puzzler. The home
team did not make an error and the
visitors but two. The fielding on both
sides was good, but La Crosse was weak
at the bat as usual. Catcher McCauley
has been released on account of the con-
dition of his arm and it is doubtful if he
ever plays ball again. This very much
WeakenS the team. Score:

Special TO the GLOBE.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug .20.-Eau Claire's
pet pitcher, Crothers, was hit heavily
to-day, and hits were punched by the
Duluth club. A double play by Reilly,
Cross and Ingraham was well made.and
the large crowd present applauded.
Brynan pitched in good form until the
seventh inning, when he let up and al
lowed several hits to be made off him.
Jones, Earle, Scheibeck and Mcmillan
hit Cr0thers for sixteen singles, includ-
ing a home run, three-bagger and five
twO-baSe hits. Eau Claire was out
played at every point. and Reilly, at
third for the visitors, was fined s25 for
''sassing'; the umpire. McKeever
played an elegant game behind the bat,
and his five passed balls are the result
of CrOtherS' disregard of signals. The
very large crowd present was largely
composed of visiting firemen and friends.

KILRAIN-SMITH.
What Dick Fox Thinks About the
Coming Match.

New YORK, Aug. 20. - Richard K.
Fox, the backer of Jake Kilrain, has
written letter, dated Paris, to William
E. Harding, his sporting representative,
in regard to the international prize
fight between Kilrain and Smith for
$4,000, the Police Gazette Diamond
belt and the championship of the world,
as follows:
Smiths hackers are prominent noblemen
and from information 1 received at the Peli-
can club, the fifty persons who will accom-
pany the English champion to the scene of
the battle VIII be lords and noblemen, SO that
kilrain will have fair play. as the gentlemen
behind Smith are backing him to keep up the
sport, and from national pride, believing
that he can conquer any man In the
world. Smiths hackers would not
identify themselves with the match if
they supposed there was going to be
any wrangle or demonstration. Judging by
the harmonious way the preliminaries were
arranged, it is my opinion that the great
fistic encounter will be brought off in a fair
and manly way, and that the best man will
win, and be allowed to do so. Smith is not by
any means the gladiator expected to find.
He is very muscular, and probably very cour
ageous, but Kilrain should conquer him, judg-
ing by appearances and the performances of
both men in the orthodox twenty-four-foot
ring. l have so much confidence i'll kilrain S
C hances of winning. that l would be willing
to increase the stakes from $1,000 to So,
600 side, but Smiths hackers are not will
ing TO increase the stakes. / shall be in Lon
don at the posting of the second deposit,
which is to be up on the Goth of August. In
regard to selecting referee, do you think it
advisable to agree to Sir John Ashley or Lord
Beresford! They will, so 1 am given to I'M
derstand, accept that position, and
Smiths hackers appear to be willing
to accept either of the above
gentlemen. Inform Kilrain that / am
certain that he can conquer Smith, and
also tell him that I promised l would
give him 81 900 TO bet Smith in the ring on
the morning of the battle. In all the sport
ing drums at Shoreditch. Snow Hill, High
Holborn. Whitechapel, Mile End road, Long
Acre and the Minories, the mill is the topic

The veteran ring goers, who have witnessed

route to Australia, where he will row
Beach Speaking of his race with Tee
mer at Toronto last Saturday, Hanlan
said that it was an entirely fair contest,
but it was an off day for him and he
could not row. He mot only made
bad start, but was unable to
get under proper headway dur
ing the entire race. The course was 600
feet short owing to mistake on the
part of man who set the buoys, and
consequently the time was not so fast as
the press reports indicated. In his Opin-
ion it was twenty-minute race, and on
this basis he thought that Gaudaur
would have no difficulty in beating
Teemer in their forthcoming race. Han
lan's race with Beach is for $, 800 side,
